Reviews

This delightful, well-researched book tells the story of twenty-two American citizens who volunteered to serve in the Royal Navy between 1939 and 1941 when America was neutral and the British Empire fought alone for the cause of freedom. The Naval Institute Press is to be congratulated for recognizing the importance of the subject matter and publishing it. This book. . . .serves as a fitting tribute to the memory of a group of brave men who `bent' their country's rules to join up and fight. It is a fascinating story, well told that will, I hope, appeal to a wide readership in both the USA and the Commonwealth; I thoroughly recommend it. * Journal of the Australian Naval Institute *
